Summary

SummaryIโ€™m Jennifer Alcaraz, and I grew up in a home that looked perfect from the outside but was full of secrets inside. ๐Ÿ˜” By age 15, I was running the streets of Norwalk and got introduced to methโ€”what started as a curious escape became a ten-year addiction. I moved with my family from Fullerton to Victorville, but nothing changed the pain inside. When I met John at 19, our shared rebellion spiraled into even more reckless drug and alcohol abuse. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ At 23, Johnโ€™s ultimatumโ€”quit or lose usโ€”led to a brutal two-week detox where we fought, sweated, and ached. God used Johnโ€™s encounter with Christ to pull us both out of that darkness. When he got saved and invited me to church on my 25th birthday, I resisted, but Godโ€™s Spirit kept drawing me. In February 2010, I felt Him pull me to the altar in tears, and from that moment on, everything changed. ๐Ÿ™Œ Eventually, John and I led a young-adult ministry under Pastor Omar, and now Iโ€™ve seen broken relationships restoredโ€”especially with my sisters and my momโ€”and witnessed God transform my story. โค๏ธโœจ
